31 Day Challenge, day 9: Rainbow

Day 9! This time the challenge was to make rainbow nails. I was looking really forward to this challenge, even though I knew it was going to be challenging indeed. In the end I came up with this very simple look with colored strokes. Basically I used the technique I also use to make my cloud manis, only using a different color with each stroke. I really like the end result, all the colors together make me so happy! Maybe also because they remind me of a box full colored pencils. :3

If you like this look, I hope you try it out yourself too. It's a quite easy way to create that oh-so-lovely rainbow effect. ^^ Thanks for reading!

Just attempted this gorgeous mani but got less-than-gorgeous results LOL. Not as easy as it looks. I'm pretty okay with tape manis and strokes but my nails are ridiculously curved; pointing my fingers at my face, they're basically half-circles, so the polish either kept dripping down the sides or I couldn't see the far sides to know what I was doing. Also, the curve means more surface area to cover, so i wasn't getting your nice, narrow strokes. Sigh.

Once I get the excess polish off, though, I think they're okay. I just won't be showing anyone the real deal here LOL.
